Question

I would like to import another script file inside a script file which both are in Ironpython.
For example:

`filename = "C:\test.py"
import filename`

And I got an error said:

IronPython.Runtime.Exceptions.ImportException: No module named filename

Could you tell me how to import a module if it is put into a variable?

Of course I know, there is no any problem if I write it like following:

import test

But it is necessary that the module is immutable, which is actually not in my case.

This is actually standard Python – the __import__ function is what you want.
